Is there an SDK for data logging?

[JonW]

I'm currently using the Zeitronix WB for AFR logging. I would like to integrate it's output into a real-time Predator/Data Viewer log somehow. Zeitronix has sent me their serial protocol and it is quite simple.

Is there a method that I could "inject" this data into the recording stream for data logging? I figure that doing it via software communication to the DataViewer app would be much easier than plugging the Zeitronix into the actual Predator.

One method that I thought could be easily implemented is to allow external programs to post a Windows message via the PostMessage API to the handle of the dataviewer thread and then the DataViewer could process the message. If you also add an "External" type of PID class, this would also allow others to extend the DataViewer logging to other external devices.

Thoughts?? Is there any similar functionality already available?

An SDK was built to import Predator data into other apps but it has not been made public. However, at some point I am going to be building a plugin for Innovate data to get imported into the DataViewer. If you would email me what you have about the Zetironix protocol then it makes sense for me to develop that at the same time I do the Innovate stuff.

I have no time-table for this, btw, but it IS something that I intend to get done.

Is the serial output of the Predator a published format? Can the Predator be used as the interface tool to other data logging software?

Not publicly. There is an SDK which has been shared with a limited audience at this time. Thank you for sending along that Zeitronix info.
